Apparently they have solved the problem.

"Another major project, the development of the Manifa field, is also underway, with 60 percent of construction on its causeway and drilling islands already completed.

"When complete, the Manifa project will add 900,000 barrels a day of Arabian Heavy crude oil production capacity," the review said.

"Assessment of project timing and economics is ongoing, and a decision on project optimisation will be made in the first quarter of 2009," it added."

Prudhoe Bay had 16 billion barrels and West Sak 4 billion, but there is about 100 billion barrels of heavy oil overlying West Sak.

They are taking it out now. They have new systems using solvants.
